Restore email accounts

If a user account has been deleted for 30 days or less, you can restore it. The user can be restored to its original name if that username has not been reused during the period in which the account was deleted. If the name has been reused, it can still be restored, but with a different username. Email accounts can be restored from either the Reseller Control Panel or the Mail Administration Console.

Restoring user accounts in the Control Panel

  1. In the Email section of the Reseller Control Panel, search for the email domain that has the deleted user accounts and click on the domain name.
  2. Click to put a check in the box beside each of the deleted users that you want to restore. 
  3. Click on the Restore users icon.

  5. Click Restore.
